1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

A coarse grained model for the thermodynamics of nucleic acid hybridization near surfaces has been extended and parameterized to consider the contribution of unpaired dangling ends. The parameters of the model differ when representing a double stranded DNA section or a single stranded DNA section. The thermodynamic effects of the possibility of different dangling end combinations were considered in the presence of different types of surfaces. Configurational sampling was achieved by the Metropolis Monte Carlo method. To gain a more complete picture of the free energy changes, an estimation of the conformational entropy was included. We find a strong thermodynamic effect for dangling mismatches due to sequence requirements when they are nearer the surface as opposed to being held away from the surface.
